I was interested in purchasing a plant recently that I had spotted either on the internet or in a magazine. I decided against it and deleted the information. Now I wish I hadn't. If anyone can help identify it the description is as follows
It was displayed as a wall shrub with bare branches and long catkins medium length and delicate. (It is not a Garrya nor is it a hazel). I seem to remember it being japanese but that might not be the case. The comments were saying that it wasn't widely grown but should be more popular.
Sorry that's all I have. Any ideas?

I don't think they are really catkins but they look like it from a distance
In the sticks near Peterborough
Itea has flowers which look like catkins
Oh Nut you've hit the nail on the head. No wonder I coudn't find it on t'internet kept putting catkins in. Doh!
